Summary

Corvidae is a vampire, wo was turned in the 1920's. This once musician moved to America to try to stay hidden, thinking it easier to move locations in a big country with its large states than the small counties of the UK. They picked up busking on the streets, feeding from the emotions their music brought rather than blood. When the War of Heaven and Earth broke out, Corvide suddenly found they didn't have to run anymore.

They traveled to the city of Chromatica, where Seattle Washington once lay, and was slipped into a city by an employer from the city's red light district. Corvidae worked there peacefully, happy to have a comfortable life until the head of the red light district set them in a serial killer's trap. Rather than die to Track the Ripper, Corvidae tamed him. They consumed his madness and like that had chained themself to him.

Being associated with a serial killer brought danger though, and when the opportunity to adopt a lonely were-rhino as a bodyguard struck, they took it. Thus Don Mariani entered Corvidae's life. They helped him get back into his place and remove some of his deceased sister's things. In the process, they stumbled upon money she had been saving for him to get a procedure for Don to be returned to humanity. He listened to them when they suggested he follow her wish and got it done. When he returned to them, he revealed that he was still plenty qualified for the job even if his skin was a little softer now. Don Mariani was a monster hunter who had killed a god. Corvidae kept him employed, and the two became inseparable.

At one point when one of Don's ex-party members, a vampire hunter, attempted to kill Corvidae, Don took several bad blows in an attempt to save them. With Don potentially dying, Corvidae dove in with only the desire to save him and sparked magic to ignite within them. Suddenly in control of fantastical powers, Corvidae went to the Power District, where the gods, wizards, and witches lived and worked, in search of a teacher. Instead, they found an enemy. A god of the sun, Inti, wanted to steal their magic and began pursuing them. Don retaliated after the multiple attempts on Corvidae's life and almost got killed. Corvidae went after Don to save him and as a result lost their home and their job.

Don invited them to live in his home, where their boss-employee friendship shifted into a romantic entanglement. The pair began taking on a new struggle, helping Corvidae control a primordial force's will.

During one of Inti's hunts for Corvidae, they ended up consuming a curse that was plaguing the city--it had been during a desperate attempt to get their dear Don free of the curse himself. The curse was consuming Corvidae quickly. Don had called on one of their past associates, Eden, and begged her for help. She obliged and took them to meet Gilgamesh: The Cure. The Cure saw an opportunity in Corvidae's ability to consume souls and placed a part of his will into their body. He then began assigning them tasks such as investigating the research that Inti and his organization, the Solar Eclipse, were doing into a way to spread the cure.

In the Solar Eclipse facility, Corvidae, Don, and two of their companions discovered that Inti was attempting to control a hive-mind and use that hive-mind's ability to possess creatures as a way to spread the cure. The experiments were monstrous. With awareness of these creatures brought to their attention, Corvidae was brought onto a job that their companions from the Solar Eclipse base had discovered, an infestation of possessed beings in the sewers of Chromatica. An attempt to free them was made, but the crew that had gathered was overwhelmed and forced to retreat, only saving two people out of a desire to not harm innocents. At that, Corvidae began devising a plan to save them.

After losing their home, Corvidae had sought new jobs. They attempted a side job for a previous client, and ended up being dragged into a secret organization called the Red Rags. The Red Rags lived underground in the black market of the city, and after finding out that Corvidae and Don needed a home and impressed that the pair of them had found the organization to start with, invited them to live in their base. Without many other options, the pair had tentatively accepted. Unfortunately, that meant they still needed a new job, and Corvidae knew just where to look.

When Don had been cursed, they had heard of the god Apollo's clinic specializing in delaying/curing the curse. As someone containing a direct link to Gilgamesh: The Cure, Corvidae figured they could get employment there. They were correct. Corvidae started working for the god Apollo in his clinic with his daughter Ione, and, for the first time in a while, Corvidae made a friend.

Their connection to the god Apollo lead to them noticing his use of music to cure illness, and Corvidae broached him asking about his lyre and if there were a way he could teach them to use music to cure people/soothe en masse to facilitate the release of mind control for the people in the sewers. Apollo told them it was not something he could teach, but there was an item that could be gained. He sent them on a quest into Hell to retrieve the Devil's Fiddle, an instrument that could control minds en masse and drive the user to insanity. Regardless, to help the people of the sewers, Corvidae and Don pursued it.

In an attempt to gather a guide through Hell, Corvidae and Don ran into a man named Charles Jordan, a consumer of souls who seemed to share a last name with Track the Ripper. Track the Ripper, who had revealed to Corvidae that his father consumed not just the flesh of the cannibal ring that he spearheaded, but the mind and soul as well. Distrustful of a man who would run such an organization, they turned him down and instead sought help from Virgil, a god that Corvidae lived on tense terms with after having witnessed him attempting to help those who wished to spread the curse throughout the city.

Corvidae delved into Hell with Don, Virgil, and his employee (and Corvidae's tentative associate), Eden. The four found themsevles facing a half-angel, who had been in possession of the Devil's Fiddle. With everyone injured, Corvidae's life on the brink, and things looking bleak, they did the only thing they could to ensure that the half-angel would stop, they consumed its soul and eradicated it from the cycle of life to prevent its resurrection. With the Devil's Fiddle, a locket of the god Dionysus from the half-angel, and a lot of fresh wounds, the crew returned to the surface and got some rest.

When Corvidae awoke in their room with Don, however, things weren't restful. They could feel everything in the room and see from every angle. Vine-line veins hung off every surface and coated the room, including a sleeping Don. Corvidae panicked and yelled for Don. As he woke, the veins retracted into Corvidae. They had been intrinsically changed. Now a half-angel themself, Corvidae possessed a nephilim. They had gained the ability to send vein-like tendrils from their being and be able to fully sense from them. They also could summon a snake of veins that functioned as an extension of themself. Corvidae and Don both agreed it was the most disgusting thing they'd ever seen.

With this newfound power under their control, Corvidae and Don were getting ready to fight The Curse. They had made plans to meet with others and commence a battle. Before going to meet with the others, however, Corvidae wanted to see if there was anything The Cure had wanted from them. Instead of guidance or another task, The Cure attempted to give them a bullet. The god Apollo had been waiting however--due to his prophetic abilities--and took the bullet for them, dying in their place. Corvidae and Don fled and headed for Apollo's clinic to break the bad news to Ione. She didn't take it well. Suddenly, the pair were in a clinic of dying, desperate people, and Corvidae decided to try to cure as many as they could before the battle, but in accessing The Cure's magic, he set their body aflame. Corvidae nearly burned alive with The Cure's voice telling them to either get rid of The Curse now and be restored or suffer the consequences.

Corvidae awoke in Apollo's clinic, wrapped in one of Don's blankets and being healed by Ione--Eden waiting in the wings to bring them to fight The Curse. Don and Corvidae embraced, him having thought them dead for good, and then they left to take down The Curse, Gilgamesh's counterpart, to save the city and restore Corvidae's form. For the battle, Charles had been brought in. He was meant to consume The Curse, but knowing that they themself gained the power of an angel when consuming it, Corvidae was sure that he would just become a new curse on the city and planned to beat him to it.

The fight began with them attacking small-time members of The Curse's forces to draw him out. Before he arrived, Inti intervened. He attempted to kill Corvidae, but instead he himself almost got killed. Before a final blow could be landed, he was consumed in shadow, and The Curse arrived. The Curse's soul was transferred from the god Anubis, who he was possessing, into Track the Ripper--destroying him instantly and sucking everyone on the battlefield into The Curse itself. Corvidae dove for The Curse during the fight and, as it touched them, their humanoid body was shattered and an angelic form was revealed. The battle continued with Inti attempting to be on their side to save his own skin. As things were turning in their favor, Corvidae scared him off, and then consumed The Curse.

Enraged at being robbed of that power, Charles attempted to attack, but Anubis swiftly dealt with him and everyone began heading home feeling lighter now that the city was free. Everyone except Corvidae who heard Gilgamesh's voice in their head, thanking them for making him whole, as he restored their human appearance. That night they and Don went home with dread.

Needing a break after those events, Corvidae and Don packed their bags and spent two weeks camping in the woods, where they discussed the need for a way to know when the other was dead. They had thought each other dead on multiple occasions and needed a way to be sure to avoid any unnecessary grief or doing something drastic. Don and Corvidae agreed to find a way to link souls. After a search, they found a building made to look like a Vegas casino wedding chapel, and were offered to be married down to their souls--linking them in life and death. Should one die, the other would too. After a discussion, the pair decided to go for it and became wed. Though they didn't get to enjoy being newlyweds for long.

Soon, The Red Rags approached Corvidae and Don and asked them to investigate what Gilgamesh was up to with the threat of being kicked from their home should they not comply. Despite the danger and out of a desire to not lose yet another home, the two went and learned of his plans to take humanity and conquer other worlds using the help of the creatures that had been controlling the minds of the citizens of the city. Corvidae was repulsed and Gilgamesh declared them an enemy. The Red Rags however, embraced them for their efforts and declared they would play an important role in the fight against Gilgamesh. In fact, they even would be the weapon used against him.
